Many landlords never serve an eviction notice because the vast majority of tenancies end at the request of the tenant. If needed, most use the Section 21 ‘no-fault’ eviction process under the Housing Act 1988.

In April 2019, the Government announced its intention to abolish Section 21. The intention is that landlords should serve notice using the Section 8 process instead.

We look at what this means and ask landlords what changes they would like to see to the Section 8 process to make sure it works effectively.

The Government is launching a consultation this summer to gather views on how to make the Section 8 process work effectively. Make sure you have your say!
